Moore's (short-term?) Law

In the long view, I guess Gordon Moore's law was more of a short-term forecast. As this piece from VNUNET notes, even Moore is once again revising his 40 year old law: sentencing it to death within 10 or 20 years. (Gordon Moore calls time on his law) The lead:

Intel co-founder Gordon Moore has predicted that his famous processor 'law' is running into a "fundamental block" and will no longer apply within 20 years.

Still, 40 years in this business is a long, long time.
